Air Pollution Air pollution refers to the release of pollutants into the air, such as extremely small particles and gases, that are detrimental to human health and the planet as a whole. These include:

As part of the process to attempt to quantify the impact we have on the environment, Phoenix have calculated the volumes of air pollution generated by our operations. The majority of air pollution produced by Phoenix relates to pollutants produced through the use of our commercial fleet. In order to reduce the volume of air population Phoenix generates, we have committed to transition our entire commercial fleet to green fuels that do not raise any air pollution by 2035.

However, the waste sector is in a unique position to move from being a minor source of global emissions to becoming a major saver of emissions.

About two thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to burning fossil fuels for energy to be used for heating, electricity, transport and industry.
